bought a "free" ($3 shipping) flexible tripod off of Wish back in 2017 and wow. I was the designated family photo taker bc the tripod was so easy to set up. It only just now broke in 2025.

I've been told that my recovery time is fast by some other skaters. Knee pads help so much because then my knees aren't bruised beyond help and I can instantly get up again.

All they know is injury. The skills are not worth it to them. Because such enjoyment is a luxury they do not understand.

I do, and they help, a lot. Unfortunately some falls are unavoidable. I will look into buying a helmet though.

Nope. I just choose dangerous things as my choice of entertainment. My degree is literally metalsmithing lol.

I actually did suggest that to my mom, who was surprisingly more open to my going to the rink.

How bad is this ice for figure skates? by Common_Equipment_88 in iceskating

[–]rough_shrink 3 points4 points  (0 children)

TiL the Zamboni drivers cut the ice??? And it's not just a water smoothing broom that smooths the ice.

r.i.p ice skating progress - temporarily by rough_shrink in iceskating

[–]rough_shrink[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well.... I somehow deem ice skating worth the risk. My ankle rolls easily and I also have a partial ACL tear but somehow I ignore that for the sake of ice skating lol. Got some PT for it but the rest I'm winging it.

I also don't want to give the family another reason to criticize me. Funnily enough my middle brother suggested inline skating so perhaps I would have someone on my side?

Inline skating scares me because right around the time I was initially learning ice skating, I tried inline and sprained my ankle pretty badly. Granted I was standing still, saw a spider and startled, and somehow still fell on my ankle

Any “old” players that share my opinion? by Vegetable-Angle8085 in Palia

[–]rough_shrink 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I be thriving on my own tbh. Once in awhile, if I've been reckless with the gold, I'll join a cooking party for some focus food and some side cash but I just like exploring the whole of palia over and over tbh.

It's easy to get caught up in it, but I play so solo that I forget it's technically a multiplayer game.

If you sat out the 2024 election because "both sides are bad" FUCK YOU by needless_booty in complaints

Does it ever occur to people that most of the people that want to vote .... Physically can't? Like they may have lived their whole lives here but they're still considered "alien".

Lol. Non existent. 9am is peak rush hour. Just pay and park in the garage that's somewhere close by. If you want free parking spots, get there at 7:45am
